2 Saamuʼeel 23
1 Dubbiin Daawit dhuma irratti dubbate kanaa dha: “Himanni Daawit ilmi Isseey, himanni nama Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii, ol ol isa qabe, nama Waaqni Yaaqoob isa dibe faarfataan Israaʼel jaallatamaan sun akkana jedhe:
Now these are the last words of David— David son of Jesse, the man who was highly honored, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel.
2 “Hafuurri Waaqayyoo karaa kootiin dubbateera; dubbiin isaas arraba koo irra ture.
“The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me, and his word was on my tongue.
3 Waaqni Israaʼel dubbateera; Kattaan Israaʼel akkana naan jedhe: ‘Namni qajeelummaan saba bulchu, kan sodaa Waaqaatiin bulchu,
The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me, 'The one who rules righteously over men, who rules in the fear of God.
4 inni akka ifa biiftuu ganamaa kan iddoo duumessi hin jirretti baʼuu, akkuma ifa aduu kan erga bokkaan caamee booddee marga biqilchuu ti.’
He will be like the morning light when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs up from the earth through bright sunshine after rain.
5 “Manni koo Waaqa duratti qajeelaa mitii? Inni kakuu bara baraa na wajjin seenee isas qajeelchee karaa hundaan ni eega mitii? Isatu fayyina koo fiixaan baasee fedhii koo hundas naaf guuta mitii?
Indeed, is my family not like this before God? Has he not made an everlasting covenant with me, ordered and sure in every way? Does he not increase my salvation and fulfill my every desire?
6 Namoonni hamoon hundinuu garuu akkuma qoraattii harkaan walitti hin qabamneetti gatamu.
But the worthless will all be like thorns to be thrown away, because they cannot be gathered by one's hands.
7 Namni qoraattii tuqu kam iyyuu miʼa sibiilaa yookaan somaa eeboo qabata; qoraattiin sunis lafuma jirutti gubama.”
The man who touches them must use an iron tool or the shaft of a spear. They must be burned up where they lie.'”
8 Maqaan namoota Daawit warra jajjaboo kanaa dha: Yosheeb-Bashebet namichi Tahikmooni hoogganaa sadanii ture; innis lola tokko irratti eeboo mirmirsee namoota dhibba saddeet fixe.
These are the names of David's mighty men: Jeshbaal the Hachmonite was the leader of the mighty men. He killed eight hundred men on one occasion.
9 Kan isatti aanu immoo Eleʼaazaar ilma Doodoo namicha gosa Ahooʼaa ture; innis yeroo Filisxeemota lolaaf achitti walitti qabamanii turan sana waraanuuf kutatanitti, namoota jajjaboo Daawit wajjin turan sadan keessaa tokko ture. Ergasii namoonni Israaʼel booddeetti deebiʼan;
After him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men. He was with David when they taunted the Philistines who had gathered together to do battle, and when the men of Israel had retreated.
10 inni garuu utuu lafa dhaabatee turee hin sochoʼin hamma harki isaa dadhabee goraadee isaatti gogutti Filisxeemota ni rukute. Waaqayyo gaafas moʼannoo guddaa kenne. Loltoonnis warra duʼan irraa hiikachuu qofaaf gara Eleʼaazaaritti deebiʼan.
Eleazar stood and fought the Philistines until his hand became weary and his hand stiffened to the grip of his sword. Yahweh brought about a great victory that day. The army returned after Eleazar, only to strip the bodies.
11 Isatti aanees Saamaa ilma Aagee namicha gosa Haraaraatu ture. Yommuu Filisxeemonni iddoo Leehi jedhamutti lafa qotiisaa kan misiraan guutame tokko biratti walitti qabamanitti loltoonni Israaʼel isaan duraa baqatan.
After him was Shammah son of Agee, a Hararite. The Philistines gathered together where there was a field of lentils, and the army fled from them.
12 Saamaan garuu lafa qotiisaa walakkaatti iddoo qabatee ture. Innis irraa ittisuudhaan Filisxeemota fixe; Waaqayyos moʼannaa guddaa kenne.
But Shammah stood in the middle of the field and defended it. He killed the Philistines, and Yahweh brought about a great victory.
13 Yeroo midhaan haammamutti utuu loltoonni Filisxeemotaa Sulula Refaayim keessatti walitti qabamanii jiranuu, hangafoota soddomman sana keessaa namoonni sadii gara holqa Adulaamitti gara Daawit gad buʼan.
Three of the thirty soldiers went down to David at harvest time, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
14 Yeroo sanatti Daawit daʼannoo cimaa keessa ture; loltoonni Filisxeem immoo Beetlihem turan.
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established at Bethlehem.
15 Daawitis Dheebotee, “Utuu namni tokko boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan dhugaatii naa fidee hoo!” jedhe.
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”
16 Kanaafuu namoonni jajjaboon sadan sun qubata Filisxeemotaa keessaan darbanii boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan waraabanii Daawitiif fidan. Inni garuu dhuguu ni dide; qooda kanaa bishaan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase.
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
17 Innis, “Yaa Waaqayyoo, waan kana gochuun narraa haa fagaatu! Bishaan kun dhiiga namoota lubbuu ofii isaaniitti kutatanii deemanii mitii?” jedhe. Kanaafuu Daawit bishaan sana hin dhugne. Egaa wanni namoonni jajjaboon sadan sun hojjetan kana ture.
Then he said, “Yahweh, far be it from me, that I should do this. Should I drink the blood of men who have risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. These things were done by the three mighty.
18 Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaa obboleessi Yooʼaab hoogganaa sadan isaanii ture. Innis namoota dhibba sadiitti eeboo isaa ol kaafatee isaan fixe; akkasiin innis akkuma namoota sadan sanaa beekamaa taʼe.
Abishai, brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was captain over the three. He once fought with his spear against three hundred men and killed them. He was often mentioned along with the three soldiers.
19 Abiishaayin warra sadan caalaa ulfina hin argannee ree? Inni yoo isaan keessaa tokko taʼuu baate iyyuu ajajaa isaanii taʼe.
Was he not even more famous than the three? He was made their captain. However, his fame did not equal the fame of the three most famous soldiers.
20 Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa loltuun cimaan biyya Qabziʼeel sunis loltuu moʼannaa gurguddaa argamsiise ture. Innis loltoota Moʼaab kanneen akka malee jajjaboo taʼan lama ajjeese. Gaafa cabbiin roobe tokkos boolla keessa seenee leenca ajjeese.
Benaiah from Kabzeel was the son of Jehoiada; he was a strong man who did mighty feats. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion while it was snowing.
21 Inni namicha biyya Gibxi guddicha tokko illee ni ajjeese. Namichi Gibxi sun eeboo harkaa qabaatu iyyuu Benaayaa bokkuudhaan isatti baʼe; innis harka namicha Gibxi sanaatii eeboo butatee eeboodhuma isaatiin isa ajjeese.
Then he killed a very large Egyptian man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah fought against him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and then killed him with his own spear.
22 Hojiiwwan gootummaa kanneen Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hojjete kana faʼi; innis akkuma namoota jajjaboo sadan sanaa nama beekamaa ture.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside the three mighty men.
23 Inni namoota soddomman sana keessaa nama kam iyyuu caalaa ulfina guddaa argate; garuu namoota Sadan sanatti hin dabalamne. Daawitis ajajaa eegdota ofii isaa isa godhate.
He was more highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
